Longest shift known to man... don't know what the official terms or rules would be, but I have worked over 170 days straight with no days off. I have spent 5 days straight at the farm without sleeping in my own bed or even my couch... that stretch was pretty rough on me. Boss lady would bring me food and cloths and we have a shower in the building

save your money, ecu tuning has very little if any HP in it.

In case you are interested, with my 04, with exhaust, header, plenum, intake, and technosquare reflash my car made like 26 more whp than stock..... then again, you have a volt stabalizer, so you probably will make more

I was thinking of shooting some Nitrous maybe, i know a guy in Brooklyn Park thats shooting 100 shot on a stock engine and he says he got no problems with it, he just tuned it to kick in at second gear. but i was thinking to be safe to do 50 or 75. Any of you guys running nitrous? what do you think?

Anything can be relatively reliable depending on how it's done

Sounds like you have a nice relaxing weekend planned.

Do you have really hard water at your place when you wash your car? I do and damn I hate washing a car with it, water spots and extra elbow grease.

Thanks man. Originally the kit came with that VS rear bumper but it just didn't look clean so I sold the rear and got the charge speed. I'm thinking if I loose my front bumper on a curb like I just almost did on the way back home from the gym while attempting a drift on a round about off HW 81 and Zachary here in MG then I wana order a urethane amuse front. Do you guys have any advice on what other clean front bumpers are out there for them?

with your parts I wouldn't waste money on an ECU reflash/tune. You will gain basically nothing with the DE motor. with the other variants, there is more potential N/A and ECU tuning.

I do not have the osiris. I have an HKS Fcon V-pro standalone running off a map.... my car is also 9:1 compression with a set of GTM stage 1 turbo cams....

oh, and it also has two turbos strapped to it.

^ why did I do all this? because I put all the n/a parts including reflashing the ecu I could find, and it made 25-30 hp over stock. So all that work you did to your car essentially made it, for the most part, sound faster, but in reality it isn't

I really like the non supperleggera setup, especially if you have a white car. I probably would have gotten the amuse kit had I not owned a DB car.... just doesn't look as good in certain colors.

If you get the superleggera kit, I think your car better be built - ie some crazy high reving N/A jobber making 300+ whp with some insane ohlin/KW coilovers
